All Chapters of Rogue Luna: The mate bond : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Astra's POVThe shot just missed Astra's ear by a few inches. She dove and ran faster, and each breath hurt her lungs. She was being chased by four wolves through the dark bush. They weren't trying to make friends.A deep voice yelled behind her, "Get the rogue!" "Don't let her escape!"When Astra jumped over a downed tree, her bare feet hit the cold ground. There were leaves and sticks in her long, dark hair as it whipped around her face. She couldn't stop. When thieves were caught by pack wolves, they usually died.She kept going even though it hurt her side to run so fast. She had learned one thing from being chased for ten years: never stop when they're close."I see her!" Another arrow flew by, this time brushing her arm.Astra bit her lip to keep from crying out. Blood trickled down her arm, but she couldn't worry about that now. The smell would make it easy for them to track her, though.Up ahead was a river. If she could just reach it, she might be able to hide her smell. Astr

Astra's POV"Kneel before your Alpha," growled the scarred guard, pushing Astra to the ground.Her knees hit the dirt hard, but Astra kept her eyes up.

"Being mated to an arrogant Alpha wasn't on my birthday wish list."The guards gasped at her rudeness. One raised his hand to strike her, but Alaric stopped him with a slight motion."Lock her up," Alaric ordered coldly. "I need time to think about this... unfortuna

Astra's POVAstra fought against the guards' grip as they dragged her down the long hallway. Her sister Lyra was living! After ten years of thinking she was dead, feeling guilty for her death, Lyra was standing right there. And now these guards were pulling her away before she could even talk to her sister."Let me go!" Astra kicked at the nearest guard's leg. "I need to speak with my sister!""Alpha's orders," the guard growled, tightening his hold.They stopped in front of a huge wooden door with silver wolf heads carved into it. One guard knocked three times, and a deep voice from inside said, "Enter."The door swung open, and Astra was pushed into the room so hard she fell to her knees. When she looked up, her breath caught in her throat.Alaric sat on a smaller throne, much like the one in the great hall but made for his private chambers. His ice-blue eyes locked onto hers, and Astra's mate mark burned so strongly she gasped from the pain."Leave us," Alaric told the guards. They
